While the rest of the country is fighting the cold, in Florida some of our plants are behaving as if it were spring. These camellias were blooming brightly with little regard for the cold front that is finally headed our way. We will enjoy them while we can. #camellias #flowers #coldfront #autumn #florida

What’s in a Name?
Yellow blossoms beamed brightly in the cool morning air as we passed their way recently. We stopped for a moment to enjoy the scene, and as we walked away, I wondered what kind of flowers they were, and considered looking for them online. Then it dawned on me, the beauty of the flower came notContinue reading “What’s in a Name?”
Butter Better Fly
While getting the house shuttered today, I chanced across this butterfly flitting about the flowers. It seemed calm and serene as it helped itself to the blossoms. I hope it stays that way for a while, and when the time comes, I hope it finds safe shelter to ride out the weather. #butterfly #storm #flowers
Color It Autumn
Happy autumn equinox! It’s officially the first day of fall, but the flowers don’t seem to mind. The hibiscus plants stopped blooming during the heat of the summer, but with shorter, less hot days (“cooler” doesn’t really apply here in Florida yet) they are again bursting forth with blossoms. This is my kind of fallContinue reading “Color It Autumn”
Wayside Wonder
There has been plenty of rain this year which has produced a bumper crop of flowers. Purple pastels line many of the roads and will be followed by other flowery colors, providing a delightful distraction from daily duties. No fooling, even though it is April 1! #flowers #spring #roadside
Azaleas by the Bazillions
Azalea blossoms of varied hues are bursting out all over much to the delight of butterflies, humming birds, and of course, ordinary people. There seem to be more than ever this year. We will enjoy the azaleas for the next several weeks as well as the roadside flowers and other plants in bloom. They seemContinue reading “Azaleas by the Bazillions”
Of Orchids and Goldilocks
A kindly Asian lady at the Market of Marion shared her knowledge of caring for orchids and then helped find the one that was right for us. The first one was too big, the next was too small, then she said: “I know just what your looking for,” and led us to this beauty. Indeed,Continue reading “Of Orchids and Goldilocks”
Rain that Remains
As of 7 a.m. yesterday, dark clouds shrouded the sky and showered raindrops across the area as it had for the prior two days. By 10 a.m. the clouds were gone, though water continued to drip from trees and eaves for some time after. But the fallen rain, as seen in the gauge above, remainedContinue reading “Rain that Remains”
Happy May Day!
Flowers brighten the first day of May or May Day, which is a European festival of ancient origins. It was once considered the first day of summer since it is half way between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Now, however, summer is considered to start at the summer solstice since the warming ofContinue reading “Happy May Day!”
